Hi all, I think the time has come to bite the bullet and change our authentication engine to work in line with Zope 2.2 and above. UserDB-1.2 seems to have some problems with it (see my message today), and frankly, I haven't got the time to try and figure out why. Another point against UserDB is that it's not being developed any more. Ah well, it did the job for a long time.... Can anyone who's using an SQL based authentication system with Zope 2.2 successfully please let me know which one you used and how you did it? ta muchly, tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

Very simple really. I'd like to use the functionality of UserDB in Zope 2.2. UserDB-1.2 (and 1.3) give me errors when I select the Properties tab (used for the docLogin docLogout screens and SQL methods). This means that USerDBs imported from Old Zopes work fine, but creating new ones is a no-no. I've looked at LoginManager, but can't get my head around it. GUFolder was promising, but I couldn't get it to work. I'm now looking at Shane Hathaways' DatabaseAPI which looks very interesting, but I'll need to spend some time with it.. cheers tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

i use userdb with 2.2 and it worked great. no problems at all. maybe you could try it on a fresh zope install or try it on a copy of your zope install. -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kedai.com.my/kk Am I Evil?

Thanks for the input Bak, thing is the product works fine *if* you've already set things up via the Properties tab in another Zope installation. By that, I mean it does authentication very well. If you click the Properties tab however, you get the traceback (if you're going to try it, please do it on a copy of your installation - I'd hate to think I'd done damage to someones DB!!). cheers tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

ok, i tried clicking the properties tab, and it returned the necessary page. no tracebacks. this on an upgraded install from 2.1.6 to 2.2.0 i also did a fresh install, added a gadfly connection and created the users table, and added UserDb. i added a user, clicked the properties tab and got the response expected. i'm not sure whether i understood the real problem though
